Wine faux pas of the day was committed by Phil Mickelson, who celebrated last
year’s Open triumph by filling the Claret Jug with a burgundy, a 1990
Romanée-Conti, which has a wholesale value of £10,000. When this was pointed
out to him, Mickelson seemed oblivious of an indiscretion that would make a
sommelier blush. “It tasted great, that’s all I was worried about,” he said.
“I’m very appreciative. We drank a few of those bottles that night.”

“Just had the MRI. No fractures that I do know. Radiologist will let me know.
Fingers crossed.” Ian Poulter
